"if you're honest,
tell the mirror what you know she's heard before.
i don't wanna be you anymore."

To everyone at Wellview High, Cleo Chang is one of the most popular, most beautiful, most envied girls in Junior year.
To her friends, she's Cleo. The friend who's funny and supportive and lets them copy off test papers.
To her boyfriend, Daniel, she's beautiful and subservient and a good kisser.
To her parents, she's rebellious and selfish.
To herself ... well.
She doesn't know what she is. All she knows is that she hates the person she sees in the mirror every morning. Absolutely hates her. She's stuck in a prison, a loop, chained to a train on a railroad that leads nowhere.
She's empty. She's nothing. She's dust.

Halfway through the year, a boy moves to town. To Cleo's neighbourhood. Into the empty house across the street. His name is Mick Calloway.
She doesn't know it now, but he he's the angel that's fallen from heaven to guide her back home. He's her light in the dark, misleading tunnel of life.
He is her love.
He will not only love her, but let her love herself.
